How do I get the new kernel on the bootfloppy?, there is just the kernel on the floppy and it contains all the neccesary programs to make an install. I made a new kernel (BOOTMFS) and kzipped it, it was only half the size of the kernel on the bootfloppy!. Well, and then when I have got the bootfloppy to work, is it enough to make a new kernel including the pcvt-code or is there more to configure (excluding the normal)?
